OMEX CalMax - Foliar Fertilizer
CalMax is a highly soluble emulsion fertilizer designed predominantly for foliar application on fruit and vegetable crops. With an NPK formulation of 10-0-3, it contains 11% calcium alongside a balanced range of microelements. The product's calcium content plays a crucial role in enhancing cell wall integrity and permeability, which is vital for cell division and overall fruit firmness. Importantly, this enrichment aids in extending the storage life of produce by mitigating physiological disorders such as water core, bitter pit, and internal browning. Though deemed compatible with a majority of pesticides and growth regulators, users are advised to exercise caution due to potential variances in crop conditions and tank mixing scenarios, as not all combinations have been exhaustively tested.
Calcium is a primary constituent of all cell walls and membranes. Restrictions in the availability of calcium will adversely affect cell division, impair the structural stability and the permeability of cell walls. Increasing fruit calcium promotes longer storage life and resists a range of physiological break down conditions including water core, bitterpit and internal browning.
CalMax is a fully water soluble fluid emulsion 10-0-3 product containing 11.0% calcium and a balanced range of micro elements. CalMax is specifically formulated for use as a foliar fertilizer and can be applied to all fruit and vegetable crops to improve fruit firmness, storability, colour and skin finish.
CalMax is compatible with most, but not all, pesticides, growth regulators and micro-nutrients with regard to physical tank mixing and biological effects on the crop. However, Omex cannot accept liability for any loss or damage as not all pesticides have been tested and because the efficacy of any mix will depend on, among other factors, the pesticide concerned, crop conditions, growth stage, weather and volumes of water used.
